The Punjab and Haryana High Court Wednesday put on hold the transfer of Enforcement Directorate (ED) officer Niranjan Singh on a petition of a lawyer here.
Niranjan Singh, an assistant director with the ED who was investigating money laundering allegations against Punjab’s Revenue Minister Bikram Singh Majithia, was Friday transferred from Jalandhar to Kolkata by his department.
Singh recently questioned Majithia for over four hours along with other ED officials in Jalandhar following allegations of Majithia’s links with three Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) who were being investigated for money laundering connected to a Rs.6,000-crore international synthetic drugs racket busted by Punjab Police in 2013.
